AFAIK this is the first known case of "celebrity scientist" making profit of scientific popularization, which can be a counterproductive #scicomm strategy where the risk is to polarize the content of the scientists around the paying audience, confirming the prejudices and biases of anti-vaxxers regarding the alleged economic interests that drive virologists to promote vaccines, casting the entire scientific community under the shadow of a single and questionable online business initiative.

🧵 Thread with case study for #scicomm may be of interest for @kakape :

1) Roberto Burioni, the most known and followed italian virologist, the "italian Fauci", presents on twitter the case of a sentence that acknowledged a causal link with mRNA vaccines and the myelitis that paralyzed a woman. "How are things really?" says Burioni, because without a SCIENTIFIC expanation that put in CONTEXT the LEGAL sentence, the news can sound alarming.

📰 Fernando Rosas foi entrevistado pela TSF a propósito do 80.º aniversário do julgamento de #Dachau, um acto de "justiça contra os crimes inéditos e gravíssimos cometidos pelo regime Nazi".

Recorda que Dachau foi o primeiro campo de concentração aberto na Alemanha e que, nele, também estiveram prisioneiros portugueses.

@ElenLeFoll @da5nsy

Yesterday, at the FediScience annual meeting, we had a similar question by @jasemrau . Rephrased for brevity: whether support for science communication by our association bearing the label Fedi"Science" does include humanities, social sciences, etc? Well, of course, it does.

Likewise, the Open "Science" idea does not draw a line between physics, biology, chemistry on one and philology or archaeology on the other side (or outside).

It is our language use, which makes this distinction. And, of course, there are real differences and numerous consequences for our lab / office lingo and culture. The speakers in Elen's link draw on bioinformatics publications (at least one 😉 ) for humanities scholars. But not everything is relatable between our subjects.

During the last few years, I learned that whilst all this is true, some fundamental obstacles in the path to open, transparent research approaches are prevalent in apparently every subject. And we would indeed profit from promoting solutions to such issues "across the aisle".

So, I wonder, how can we emphasize that #OpenScience includes humanities and other subjects and that #Scicomm does that too? All that whilst not dropping the established terms? I clearly realized my ignorance. This, apparently, is an issue.

Sorry for derailing this thread, Danny.

PS if anyone, who is better with words, has an idea ... bring it forward, please.
